That is one of the nicest looking chalice and the red w / the orange rainbow eye's what can you say but Wow and if you have any more frags of that let me no i can drive down and pic one up this month. And all the chalice i have got from you grow like weeds and hold there color's.

How much light should I be giving this coral. I wouldn't say it's uber happy where it is right now...

You can see it right under the belly of the male bartlett anthias (above the PBT). I run 250W DE PHoenix on Icecaps. Is it getting too much light?

Little to no edge growth. Look at the edges, they don't look happy. They aren't spreading onto the disc.

ah... might be too much flow? what I notice sometimes with chalices, if they are getting hit by too much flow, they don't like to extend... they tend to curl up their outer skin instead on it laying flat on the rock / disc... a few of my chalices getting good flow from the Vortech did this... I moved them and they were fluffier and extended more... either way, good luck man... hope you get it situated...

SDguy · May 4, 2010

Oh, well flow could definitely be the issue then.

Another new one:

Nice one Peter!

Here is another one of mine that is coming along nicely....

That is amazing is that the only piece you have?

JR's Reef · May 4, 2010

Looking good Peter. Glad there doing good for you. Ever since I made that frag Im getting no growth on mine Im thinking on moving it to the other tank to see if it does any better over there

SDguy · May 4, 2010

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Hopefully it just needs a little extra long healing time. I'd post a pic of the bazooka joe, but after losing it in the back of my tank for a while, it is going to need some major recovery time before being photo worthy :beat_brick:
